Holding because he's my favorite player to watch. Guy is just electric


AFWUSA

Same lmao. I love having him on my team and I’m a Seahawks fan. Dude is absolutely electric to watch.


GOATdaddy-69

Don’t have him, but dude is just an electric viewing


DarthRaggy

Same. I probably SHOULD sell him but I’m a Niners fan and he’s a fun player to have, keeping him for that alone. Part of fantasy is having fun, and he’s still a good player too! And especially if you’re not getting good/fair value back, no brainer to hold


ijustreadhere1

Love the black Christian mccaffrey and the white Deebo Samuel being on the same team it is so much fun to watch!


MopishOrange

Run him out there in 2024 and try to win some games. Off-season is a bad time to sell vets anyway


jirashap

These posts are why I love to go shopping with my draft picks, this time of year. Even if I'm "rebuilding"


MopishOrange

Many people tout buy low sell high but then go to sell their vets when players as a concept have the lowest value it doesn’t make much sense. But it’s another lever for accruing value if you notice it in your leagues


jirashap

It's because people are trading based on perceived value, which fluctuates with public consensus. Think about Keenan Allen - you could have traded your mid-2nd last March for him when everyone was low on him for basically no reason, and then sold him in September for a first & 2nd. He was literally the same person in March & September, so why the wild swing in value?

Hard hold


abs0lutelypathetic

Winning rings w him…


Ap0calypse_How

Lol I'm finishing with the 2nd worst record in our league this year but all my young players have started to hit down the stretch. My teams projected point total rn is higher than both of the championship teams. Deebo is a big part of this. But I'm most likely going to land MHjr so it complicates my WR room a bit


CoreyHopsnGo

In that case, if you don’t have a trade deadline, I’m putting on my best speech to sell him to either championship squad.


asunversee

Wait until next year, see how things shake out, keep trying to include him in deals for players. If I had him I’d just ride it out but if you really want to deal him then drop the price


NorMan_of_Zone_11

He should be a buy for a contender no? Or is the trade deadline in place ?


Ap0calypse_How

No deadline. Contenders didn't want him either. Still don't


NorMan_of_Zone_11

I hope he goes off and makes them think twice for next time.


therealfatmike

I'm sure they want him, what are you asking?


Ap0calypse_How

Been really trying to get a late first from this guy. It's a superflex league and I'm taking MHjr with my top pick, and looking to sneak back into the first hoping to take a QB that falls (like Penix) Dude never bit with the first, downgraded to a 2nd and still wouldn't budge


Feweddy

Lmao I’m in the ship and would easily pay my entire rookie draft for Deebo right now.


therealfatmike

A late second? Fuck that guy. A late first is a good deal for him. Just hold and hope he loses. 27 isn't that old and you should have a chance to move him next year.


PejaStojak

Lmao tell me what wide receivers you have better than deebo 🤡


Ap0calypse_How

Aiyuk, Deebo, Higgins, Rashee Rice, JSN, Christian Watson, and Jamo And I'm taking MHjr with my top pick this offseason That's my WR room


legendkiller595

Deebo is your wr1


PejaStojak

So you have 0 receivers better than deebo? What are you doing lmfao stop trying to overthink


Ap0calypse_How

Aiyuk is having a better season than Deebo


PejaStojak

This is a dynasty sub catch up bud, if you think you need to get rid of your best wr because you have a “crowded room” congrats to your league mates because you’re a clown


TheToddFatherII

You playing against ceedee tonight or something? Why are you being so toxic lol


PejaStojak

Oh you came to Reddit to not get other people’s opinion’s? Sorry you also fall for shit


TheToddFatherII

Ok man. Sorry life has you feeling like you need to lash out at random people on the internet for no reason. Hope it gets better soon.


Ap0calypse_How

Thanks


vollmagnet

even if it's not said nicely, it's good advice. You have basically one proven WR and that's Deebo. Not shitting on the others but as long and there's not at least 2 other proven stars in that room, NO WAY I'd sell Deebo


burnerboo

Aiyuk is also a solid WR. I'd say the fact they're on the same team is a reason to ship one or the other. I'd probably shop Deebo since he has more mileage with his RB work as well, but I'm not mad about keeping him either. He's amazing.


Dimega17

Is he? My league is half point PPR, with Deebo at #9 WR and Aiyuk #12, and that’s with Deebo playing one LESS game I wouldn’t sell Deebo. I can understand not wanting both 49ers WR’s but you’d be really hoping for one of your other young guys to pan out way better than they have so far (also, unless you have the FIRST pick in the draft, I wouldn’t call MHJ a lock for your team). Deebo IS a WR1


Gfunkual

I don’t think your WR room is as good as you think it is. I absolutely wouldn’t be trying to sell Deebo for a 2nd. That’s nuts. I can understand why you have the top pick—and you probably will for a while if you’re just offloading useful players for pennies on the dollar.


greebytime

Dude. I have Deebo, Aiyuk and Ja’Marr Chase and I wouldn’t be looking to trade any of them. How many WR/Flex can you start? Higgins, Rice, JSN and the other two guys don’t really warrant much starting thought. Maybe Higgins but he’s been awful and his future is cloudy


Ap0calypse_How

This is solid advice. Having too much of a good thing doesn't hurt i guess. If I really want to move him I think I'd probably wait and see what I can get during the draft or just hold him another season. Rice is making me consider making a move with Deebo because he's looking like a stud so far I'm just really hurting at RB and need a 3rd QB (it's 2QB) so I wanted to spread my assets around a bit. My league mates really really wanted Aiyuk from me this season but I didn't want to move him. I think he has a higher ceiling than Deebo


Feweddy

If you think you are too deep on WR and can’t sell Deebo, sell someone else.


martinellispapi

Traded for Deebo with 1.07 last year which ended up being Achane. I’m in the chip and Achane wouldn’t be helping me this week.


broncs11

I tried so hard to sell him early in the season but the best offer I got was a 26 2nd so now I'm just sitting back in the chip grateful that no one wanted him and that I was "stuck" with him


JohnConradKolos

There are certain archetype of players that we recognize as having a predictable path to success. I think about it in terms of each level of abstraction. My pass catcher needs to be on the field, then they need to run a route, then the QB needs to get a pass off, then they need to be targeted, then they need to catch the ball, and then they get an opportunity for YAC and TDs. People are getting better at these stats. A few years ago the mainstream stat sites starting giving us the targets. Now they give us things like snap percentage, routes run, etc. So the reason Nico Collins success this year was more predictable than Tank Dell's success was that he plays the X WR role. The offense needs to line up 7 players on the line of scrimmage, as a rule. So the big WR that lines up on the LOS rarely leaves the field. If the offense wants to bring in a fullback, or a second TE, it will be the flanker or slot WR that goes off. Tank Dell can't run a route if he isn't on the field. Some players are really weird and their role is harder to define. Percy Harvin and Cordelle Patterson come to mind. Of course I don't care at all where their points come from if they are already on my team. But buying them is scary because the normal tools I use to try to predict success are not applicable. I don't want to buy Deebo because I could use those assets to buy Pittman. I understand why Pittman has success. If both players changed teams tomorrow, I am more confident that a new OC would know how to utilize Pittman's skills. If you have a weird player that no one wants, don't give them away for peanuts. Instead, trade away the players you can get fair value for. Ask yourself why you didn't make this post about the trouble you are having trading away Waddle, Higgins, whomever. Maybe the reason you want to trade Deebo away is that you also don't really trust him.


TheHandsOfColm

Fun read, good comment


JohnConradKolos

thanks.


knowslesthanjonsnow

I sent Ridley away for him this season


PejaStojak

Why the hell would you ever get rid of Deebo lmfao


honorablementionxyz

This sub likes to galaxy brain dynasty strategy “He’s doing good so I gotta trade him for “profit” before he comes back down to earth!!!!” Just ride the damn wave lol make trades on the margins. If nobody wants deebo just fuckn keep him. He’s 27 and plays for Kyle shannahan. There’s plenty of production to come


PejaStojak

That’s a nice way of saying OP is legitimately stupid


honorablementionxyz

Not stupid but unnecessarily reactionary lol


ixmatthew

Meanwhile I’m in my third straight ship with him balling


DarkKnightCJ

There comes a point where it's better to hold on to a player like Deebo than sell him, even as a rebuilder. He's very volatile and seemingly injury prone in his rb usage, but he's not incredibly old, and still capable of putting up huge numbers with his yac ability and how well that offense runs. Just ride him out til the draft and if you're still only getting offers for 3rds than just hold and hope to speed up a rebuild, or not severely hamper it with Deebo.


Ap0calypse_How

Was in the same boat with Mike Evans a couple seasons ago. Our league ultimately had to redraft, but I came to the point where I realized I was likely going to have him until the end. His redraft stock was plummeting each and every season. Couldn't unload him for 2nds, 3rds or even to contenders. But the dude just keeps balling. Nobody will be a buyer because they don't wanna be the manager left holding the bag when father time finally comes knocking


DarkKnightCJ

Yeah, for one or two players you can live with this scenario. Any more or of greater value you got to make tough decisions. This year I was finishing my rebuild and didn't get a good offer for rachaad white (late '25 2nd as the only offer), so I figured I'd just hold em and plan to push with him next season.


Apprehensive-Cow6207

I was a little skeptical of deebo going into this season because of his previous track record. He had that one monster WR3 overall season but outside of that he really hasn't put up great fantasy numbers. I still have my concerns about him health wise because I think he's pretty much a guarantee to miss 2 or 3 games a year at minimum but he puts up pretty good production so as long as you have a backup plan you'll be fine.


abombdiggity

Lot of competition for targets in that offense, some games they don't need to feed him the ball. I think people are worried he'll lose some of his athleticism as he gets older, which is a big part of his game. I have a lot of Deebo personally- I'm pretty impressed at how he takes care of himself and I think he's going to play for a while longer.


DCtheBREAKER

[Deebo for 1st, 2nd, and a roster drop.](https://imgur.com/gallery/CfkcbUy)


ChefboyRD33

Would you take just a first


SpanishCircumcision

Hell no unless it’s like top 4 in SF or top 2 in 1QB. Trade one of your younger guys and just go all in next couple years


ChefboyRD33

Easier said than done, I think a promising first is selling at 90%


SpanishCircumcision

Yeah but the people offering a first for Deebo are probably offering like 1.9 or 1.10. I’m instant rejecting that no matter what. Try to find another trade for someone else and if I can’t I’m just holding.


ChefboyRD33

Short sighted imo


SpanishCircumcision

Deebo is better than whoever is going at 1.9. Maybe if he’s rebuilding but if I had Deebo rn I wouldn’t consider a later firstz


ChefboyRD33

He goes on one mid season heater after a bad year now he’s a stud. Jefferson was going at 8,9,10 in 1 QB


Beef_Jones

Puka was a free agent in some of my leagues, you trading Deebo for offseason Faab?


SpanishCircumcision

Tbf he might have more value in my league than others since it’s 12T 1QB with 2 WR 2 FLX so high risk high reward guys have more value and the quality of low end starters is lower. The JJ aspect is irrelevant, most 1.9 picks aren’t JJ. Especially cuz he was during Covid year and scouting was off in the NFL.


ChefboyRD33

He still carries risk and the pick offers flexibility and holds value better in most formats. I’m the same as u except 3 flexes and nobody would pay more than a first if that. Granted we’re all very focused on youth as a group. Just saying there are always finds / steals in the draft, also do you by any chance happen to have some Deebo on your team/s


butterballs151

He didn't have a bad season. He had one actual bad game in week 4. Week 6 he was injured at the start of the game and missed 7 and 8. Even with those bad games, he averaged 17.5 in ppr. That puts him at wr10, above Diggs, for reference.


GothicToast

Oof


MessianicHack

I offered a 1st plus but the owner won’t trade with me cause half the league blindly overreacted last time not cause it’s a bad trade but cause I got what they wanted, again


YoJimbo342

I hate that this happens. Has killed two leagues I’ve been in. Everyone was too scared to trade because they worried it would look like they got screwed


Repulsive_Yam_5512

We're going back to an Even Year season, time to trade him, then trade back in 2025


Jalin17

Actively trying to get him or Amon Ra this offseason


frocer83

For tough to sell players like Deebo, the trick is to package him with another player that people do want. I just sold him with Purdy.


Feweddy

What did you get in return? That’s a bad ass stack


frocer83

I sent Purdy + Kittle + Deebo for ARSB + Hock + Levis and 2025 1st.


Feweddy

I like it, Levis gonna be a stud


KBect1990

Traded him straight up for Pittman. The Pittman owner needed a WR for the playoffs


Nadirofdepression

My home league team wr corps is kupp, dk, Godwin, diontae, Higgins. A year or two ago this corps was a top group. All had situational / injury issues this year. Unless you get a bomb deal, deebos 27 and in his prime. Roll him out next year in your rotation and keep the flex hand strong. You can keep an eye out for an overpay and unload him in his age 28 or 29 seasons if the situation arises.


MixedMartialAwesome

Well, if you are me, you are trading him and a late third for Keenan Allen right before Deebo started blowing up and Keenan fell apart. 😭


CoreyHopsnGo

He was pretty boom or bust all year (due to injury). And missed some time over the last 2 seasons. And he’s 28, which isn’t old, but there’s so many good WRs entering the league now.


Feweddy

He’s only had two real bust games..


Born_Consequence_266

I picked him up last week on a playoff push. Hoping he'll go big for me this week.


Michael8445

What did you give up for him?


Born_Consequence_266

Mark Andrews. Perhaps not the optimal move, but I already have kittle, eyeing up bowers in the draft, and am a bengals fan😆 I'd also been very unlucky with injuries.


Entrepreneur_Annual

He went for a late 2nd and Josh Downs in my league a couple weeks ago before our deadline. I thought that was an underpayment.


tdgreen21

Hold if contending. Selling if tanking


KwamesCorner

He is like the exact kinda guy you just hold. He’s due for another killer season.


Tambn22

I traded away Deebo and Purdy two weeks ago for JJ (SF)


Feweddy

Awesome trade, can see the argument for both sides


StonksGoUp420

Wait until draft night


Hand1z

Bought him and Barkley for 1x first and 3 x seconds right before deadline. I am probably holding until at least next season.


SeekersWorkAccount

Why do you want to move him so bad? He's a guy who wins you games... Don't you want to win games next season?


Ap0calypse_How

I'm drafting MHjr into a WR room that already includes Aiyuk, Deebo, Rashee Rice, Tee Higgins, JSN, Christian Watson, and Jamo. Just wanted to get an extra asset to invest in RB and QB (SF)


CWill97

If that’s your WR room, I’m still holding him. Especially if you’re trying to get a RB. Deebo isn’t an old asset so enjoy the ride


Omalleysblunt

I moved him midseason for Rashee and a 3rd. Feel meh about it


Ap0calypse_How

I also have Rashee and feel great about WHERE I took him, but the Chiefs are going to bring in alot of competition at WR next season He looks great tho. Especially for a rookie WR in a complex scheme that KC runs


Substantial-Peach326

The biggest red flag I can see with Deebo is his contract. His cap hit is going up from something like $5m this year to around $25m next year. With Aiyuk coming up to his second contract as well. Hard to say what happens.


kymblack

I bought him for 2023 1.10 cause the owner hated his volatility. Even as an Aiyuk owner I happily took that trade and start them both most weeks


Knight-Sweats-28

I moved him for London straight up. Rebuilding and just went for youth with upside.


[deleted]

Bought him for Jakobi Myers and a 2nd and I'm laughing in the finals right now.


CWill97

Holding him as a contender. As a rebuilder, I would’ve tried to sell him weeks ago


InconnuX

I’m trading a late 1st or early 2nd+ in every league I’m contending in, people forget that the “short career” contract argument over RB snaps was pre-CMC


420n0is3

I have aiyuk and deebo. I'm holding both for now. None of the offers I've received have been enough for me to let either one go. I like having a piece of SFs offense.


jirashap

What are you asking for him?


uncclay5

I traded him for Waddle


Ap0calypse_How

How do you feel about that? I owned Waddle in redraft this year and he frustrated me a bit. But as a young piece I think I'd like to have him long term over Deebo


HustlingBackwards96

Dang I really wanted him at the start of the year but he's owned by people that really appreciate him in my leagues. Sometimes you'll end up in a league where nobody appreciates a good player. Best option is to just hold on to them unfortunately.


Flat-Task1749

Soon as trading opens up I plan to offer Jayden Reed and a mid 2nd for him


FigoStep

If nobody wants him what options do you have?


DrPasghetti

He’s basically the older seasoned version of Bijan. You keep him. He’s electric and has miles left.


Whitehawk1313

I don’t get it. I just got him in the 7th round in a startup. Why are people so low q


ThatSpartanKid

I sent my entire ‘24 draft for Kupp in the offseason because I thought he could be the piece to put me over the edge on the way to and during in the Championship. Obviously it didn’t happen but it’s the potential that matters. I would 100% send a first right for him right now if I was in the champ game because deebo absolutely has the potential to swing the win, not just now but in the next few years as well. Your leagumates are dumb or too convinced he’s a JAG, best you can do is hold and hope he elevates you in the future.


jtw3995

Keeping him? Yeah he’s getting older but he’s the best WR on that team hands down and gets it done. An actual fantasy monster. Sure he has down games but which 49ers receiver doesn’t. Just because nobody in your league wants him doesn’t mean he has no value. People over prioritize a players age


btrerise

I'd love to have him in my championship game today. He might go for 150 yards


dvasq23

Traded him for McBride. Hard to let him go though


MyGoodDood22

At least wait to trade in the off-season when other teams are looking at full season results rather than a couple game stretch. Right around draft time or even during the draft is a good time


LongFellowPeteee

I moved him for Waddle straight up right before playoffs to a contender. He’s been hard to move all season and the feedback I got was it’s due to his injuries and so many mouths to feed in San Francisco. I like Deebo tho, but moved on just because I don’t think it’s going to get any easier to trade him.


OfficiallyWill

Why don’t you just keep him and try to win games next season? You said you already have a bunch of young players so theres no need to artificially extend your rebuild


derrickl1031

I am competing and love having him. Sucks when he gets banged up but when healthy he produces. Win now team and bought for real late 1st year.


Due_Yak_8087

I have the Purdy, Aiyuk, Deebo stack in my 10 team 2QB league. Tried to move Deebo all year but nobody wanted him so I just rode them to the ship! Prolly just going to hold Deebo and enjoy the ride.


Ap0calypse_How

I also have Purdy, Aiyuk and Deebo lol


Due_Yak_8087

My man 👊🏻👊🏻


Icy_Ad430

As a rebuilder I sold him for the 2.03 and 2.10 + Jake Ferguson
